Solar on homes in New Jersey has been increasing in popularity year after year. There are now over 100,000 home solar systems in New Jersey and over time, homeowners will eventually move with the solar panels still attached to the roof. But what happens when you want to move from your house with solar panels or want to purchase a house with solar panels? The most important thing to consider off the bat is that solar panels will generally increase the value of the home.
Cleaning Your Solar Panels
Home solar systems in NJ are virtually maintenance free. This is because there are no moving parts in a solar array. A solar installer should be using flashings underneath each panel to protect against leaks, they should use panels warrantied for 12-20 years, and strong solar inverters. With the components of a high quality, the risk for failure quite low. However, one piece of maintenance that may be required is the cleaning of the solar panels.

Solar Shingles
Solar Shingles or Photovoltaic shingles to be more precise are essentially solar panels which are specially designed and manufactured to perform the dual function of being roofing material and an electricity producer at the same time. Solar Shingles fall into the category of Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) solar energy solutions.
Solar Incentives in New Jersey
New Jersey is one of the leading states in the US in terms of solar installation and the promotion of renewable energies. It is one of seven states with an active open SREC market. This is helping to achieve the green NJ initiative along with other supportive solar incentives from the state and federal governments. New Jersey’s state government is determined to go forward with its active SREC program.
The Residential Solar Installation Process
If you are planning to install residential solar panels in NJ this is the normal installation process completed by the installation company in order to get your system online, operational, approved, and eligible for incentives like SRECS. Be sure the residential solar energy company you are dealing with offers a full turnkey service or these tasks may need to be completed by the homeowner.
